"On this continent, which is in front of your shop, about half a day's journey away, there is a large river. This river is the dividing line between our Lilliput and the land of giants."

"The land of giants feeds on all kinds of animals, such as giant crabs, giant fish, and giant birds, while the land of Lilliputians feeds on plants. The giants live high in the mountains... Is this enough information?"

After the little girl finished speaking, she pointed to herself and said, "By the way, my name is Nana. I am a child from the slums of Lilliput. I am eighteen years old and an adult."

“My grandfather’s illness is that he can’t walk. His knees hurt after taking one step. He says it feels like there’s a winter inside his knees, and it hurts from the cold… Our doctors have never seen a disease like this before, so I don’t know what medicine to give him.”

Gu Xixi thought for a moment. Living underground year-round, in the damp and cold environment, he was bound to develop rheumatism, and given his age, he was probably also calcium deficient.

“I know. Let’s go back to the supermarket with me. I’ll get your medicine.” Gu Xixi walked in front, with Nana following behind her, and Chu Feng following behind Nana.

Upon entering the supermarket, Nana noticed there were still strangers around. She only dared to stand at the entrance and observe everything inside. The people in the supermarket dressed similarly to her, but their clothes were clearly of better quality.

There were also things for sale that she had never seen before...

Gu Xixi whispered a few words to Chu Feng, while Chu Feng went upstairs to find plasters and medicated oils. Gu Xixi then took out the supermarket products to show the little girl.

"Look, this is Panpan bread, it's food. As long as you don't open this bag, it's guaranteed to stay fresh for two years. This is sanitary napkins, what girls use when they have their period. I have all kinds of sizes here... I'll give you two packs as payment for helping me hand out flyers, would you like that?"

"I have several machines here. If you want to buy things at the supermarket, you have to use these machines to buy precious metals, namely gold, silver, and rhodium (rhodium, currently $313,469.78/kg)..."

"Just put these things on it and you can exchange them for digital currency of the corresponding value. You can then use this digital currency to shop in the supermarket... This is a flyer."

After Gu Xixi finished speaking, Nana took all the things.

Chu Feng came down with the medicine, and Gu Xixi thoughtfully explained how to use it, but for Nana, who was only thirty centimeters tall, this was really too much.

"Wait here, I'll go get you a backpack." Gu Xixi went upstairs and took off her doll's backpack, which fit Nana perfectly on her back. Everything fit inside just right.

There's a thumb-sized doll on the backpack with big, adorable eyes.

Nana looked up at her back, then at the scratches on her legs, which had already scabbed over. "Thank you all. I will definitely bring people back to buy things. I've remembered everything you said."

“I haven’t felt so much kindness in Lilliput for a long time. Thank you. Many people in Lilliput are hungry. I believe they would be willing to mine minerals to sell.”

After Nana finished speaking, Gu Xixi clasped her hands together and held them to her mouth, her eyes filled with sympathy. "With people as tall as the Giant Kingdom targeting you, you must be having a hard time. I'll give you two more loaves of bread, at least enough for you to eat tonight."

"It's a pity you can't carry too much, otherwise I really wanted to give you more."

"Thank you, sister. I'll be going now." Nana quickly took the bread, turned around and ran away. As her figure disappeared, the sun set, and the earth was plunged into darkness.

The sign for Fa Da Cai Supermarket lit up, a bright and conspicuous light in the darkness.

"Xixi, something seems off about you..."

Before Ran Qing could finish speaking, she saw Gu Xixi open her own phone's monitoring interface.

A scene of a forest was playing on Gu Xixi's phone, and it was constantly moving.

"You put a tracking device in the things you gave Nana." Chu Feng was surprised. He had thought that Gu Xixi's gift was an act of sympathy for the weak.

"I did put one in, because she's a little liar! I put it in my backpack to confirm my suspicions, and it also helps me check the safety routes in the forest, the terrain, and so on. Chu Feng, I'm leaving the surveillance to you. Extract and record any useful information."

Gu Xixi handed the phone to Chu Feng.

Ran Qing looked on with admiration. "We also felt that Nana was a bit strange. It's not surprising that a weak person like her would be afraid of a new species like us who suddenly appeared, but to accept it so quickly is too bold. If it were me, I would wait for the country and the main force to come and explore whether it is safe."

"But then I thought, she only mustered up her courage to ask for the medicine."

"Xixi, tell me quickly, how did you figure out she was a liar?" Zhao Jing was also curious, Gu Xixi had even tripped and fallen last time.

Gu Xixi sat down. “It’s just a guess. The first point is what Ran Qing said: one point of doubt is enough to raise suspicion, but not enough to continue to raise suspicion. So there is a second point. From the perspective of the entire continent, the physical differences between the Lilliputians and the Giants are so huge, but only the two countries stand on this continent. The Lilliputians rely on their brains.”

"So, based on my guess, the people of Lilliput are exceptionally intelligent, which is their advantage. Faced with an unknown force like us, Nana has always portrayed herself as very weak to lower people's guard—that's her cleverness. Of course, it's also possible that everything she says is a lie..."

Gu Xixi's analysis was very logical and insightful, both from a macro and micro perspective.

"Furthermore, she said that the land of giants is bloodthirsty and loves to wage war. If that's true, then the fact that they can exist on such a large scale also proves their intelligence. If it's false, and most of what she said is a lie, then I have another guess: in this extreme world, the people of Lilliput are good at lying, lying to an extreme degree, while the people of the land of giants are the exact opposite, extremely honest."

Only when each race has its own advantages can they stand in a balance of power.

"And the elephants that passed by me earlier. Animals have the most acute instincts, but those elephants didn't react at all when they saw humans who were so much taller than them... I guess they had encountered similar situations many times before."

In other words, those giants were friendly to small animals, and to an exaggerated degree.

"We must always be wary of others, so we're waiting to see Nana's reaction when she gets back. Soon, we'll have a better understanding of the world."

After Gu Xixi finished speaking, Ran Qing, Zhao Jing, and Chu Feng all applauded.

Gu Xixi just smiled. This world may seem peaceful, but it is probably more dangerous than the post-apocalyptic world. She will not drag her teammates down with her anymore.
